The Gay Romcom We Never Knew We Needed?
Calum’s Pov

I met Michael when I was 6, from the moment we met it was like we were made for each other. We clicked immediately and we’ve been best friends ever since. We do absolutely everything together, and I mean EVERYTHING. It’s pretty much impossible to separate us, Michael has always gone to all of my football games, and I always have sat and listened to him play guitar or played video games with him, we slept over at each other’s houses every night when we were younger. And now we work together, I don’t think I could have asked for a better job either, I get to travel the world with my three best friends and play music for thousands of people every night.
Even when Mike met Crystal, he still included me in everything. And let me tell you, watching the two of them make out constantly gets really uncomfortable really quickly. I’ve third wheeled more of their dates then I count at this point. The two of them are absolutely adorable together and I’m really happy for them.
But I’m really starting to get tired of being the only single one in the band. Seeing Mike with Crystal, Luke with Sierra, and Ash with Kaykay, all the time is rubbing in just how single I am. And it’s not even fully my fault. I’ve known for a while that I don’t like girls, and I’m perfectly fine with that, but I haven’t told anyone. I vaguely brought it up to management once and they made it very clear that if any of us were gay it would bring about a big mess. So, I’ve stayed single, and absolutely no one knows why. I haven’t told anyone I’m gay, my parents don’t know, my sister doesn’t know, even Mike who I’ve told everything to doesn’t know. And I know they would be ok with it, but I just don’t feel like dealing with the mess that would happen if anyone slipped up and said something, so I just keep pretending that I’m a straight man that is perfectly fine being single, even though I’m the exact opposite.
Anyway, other than that this year has been amazing, the new album is doing awesome, and we start tour in 4 days. But for right now we’re all taking in our last moments of calm before the craziness that is tour starts.
I’m spending my time watching way too much Netflix with Duke. I think it’s about midnight and I’m almost halfway through re-watching season two of Umbrella academy when my phone starts going crazy. I ignored it at first, but then I heard the ringtone that I have set up of Mike screaming so I answered and was met with a very obviously freaking out Michael. And that phone call was the start of everything going to shit.
